Androgel: Horrible Unless Free

[Hexum311]

So I have a question. I recently acquired a free 30 day supply of Androgel 5g 1% topical testosterone. From what I have read, the absorption of this product is practically nothing, injectables are the only way to go, and it is flat out garbage in terms of muscle mass unless you presumably filled your bathtub with it and soaked for a few hours.

In light of all this, it has been given to me for free, and I am debating if there is ANY possible positive use for it or if it should just go into the trash?

My rationalizations for this presumed waste of time:
*First timer; thought this may be a good way to test my sensitivity to possible side effects before taking the plunge with a 500mg/week cycle on down the line.
*Even a minimal boost of test levels would be better than nothing, right?; if not for mass gain, then maybe mildly enhanced performance during my workouts?
*Possible potential for maintaining more mass during a cut?
*Its free, why waste it?

Also, if I did take it daily until it runs out, would I need a good PCT in store for such a low dosage? Recommendations?

Please be gentle; I know this stuff is crap (especially with a 30 day supply) --- just wanted to know if there would be ANY practical use for this stuff besides in my trash can.

Hang on to it and use it as a kickstarter when (if) you do a real cycle. I don't think the benefits of using it by itself will be worth shutting yourself down.

There is test in, why would you throw it out?

Agreed, just use it when you start a real cycle. Theres no point shutting yourself down to replace it with the minimal levels you'll get from androgel. Probably have you at the same level anyway lol. There certainly wont be much benefit at all.

Yeah it is trash. It can end up lowering people's levels even more by shutting down the little they already make. Some people like it though. I think it's pretty useless.
